For an explanation of the above commands, see the articles on the Portage and Entropy package managers in the SL Wiki. Basically, the above four commands do the following:

- Synchronise (update) your PC with the latest versions of package build scripts in the main Portage repositories.- Synchronise (update) your PC with the latest versions of package build scripts in the Sabayon Overlay repository.- Merge (build/install) the package x11-themes/sabayon-artwork-kde-5.0 from the Sabayon Overlay.- Tell Entropy what you did via Portage so that the Entropy database on your PC is synchronised accordingly.

I updated my system (Gnome on i686) this morning and didn't like the new sabayon artwork 5.3 when I spotted this post and thought I try to get back what I had yesterday. This is what I did and I didn't get what I wanted. And yes, I did all the 4 commands in your post, syncing before and after...

sabayon kc # emerge -1v =sabayon-artwork-gnome-5.2

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "~x11-themes/sabayon-artwork-core-5.2" have been masked.!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:- x11-themes/sabayon-artwork-core-5.2 (masked by: corruption)

I used the SL Forums Search facility to search for your error message "sabayon-artwork.eclass could not be found by inherit" and came up with the following thread: Missing sabayon-artwork.eclass [Solved]. Try the fixes given in that thread and then repeat the procedure here.

Bravo Fritzcarraldo, you did it again! And good memory! Frankly, I had to reinstall my computer about 10 days ago following a thread that was marked solved for grub splash daemon error 256. I got this beautiful splash screen with grub prompt and I couldn't get into my system! I should have known better than to touch grub2. Anyway, I have not reinstall my printer on my laptop but it is always ok on my desktop. Of course, I completely forgot about eclass until your post this afternoon. Thanks again! BTW, I would like to mark this as solved but it's not my thread.

I'm curious and hope to find an answer. Well, I switched theme from sabayon-artwork-gnome-5.3 (when the Sabayon logo, was in my personal opinion, not that cool) as per instructions on this post to 5.2 and then by the promptings of Entropy I switched back to 5.3 again since someone else thought the same and changed the logo back to the old Sabayon logo (noticed that on my desktop). After the latest update, Gnome logo takes the place of Sabayon logo and only some of the icons are changed. Any explanations for this?
